City is waiting for financing from Michael Jenkins or else the project is going to fall thru like the rest!

The Mayor says he is anticipating the Arena will break ground by Jan 2015

It all boils down to the cost and a broader perspective.. Maglev is cheaper..

The tracks is what I was referring too.. lol

Actually Virginia Beach wants their own future transportation system that doesn't rely on heavy rail like the traditional lightrail system.. They want something that will flow and without congestion.. it also makes financial sense and good on the environment..It would also show that Virginia Beach is for the future with a future MEGLEV system.. 300 Million beats 1.5 billion for a lightrail that runs on a street when we could have a elevated system that doesn't disrupt traffic..

Town Center is more of a place for locals but tourists are welcomed. Town Center gives us a urban city feel! The oceanfront caters to tourist. Us locals like being away from tourist and have a sense of place to see our locals and friends alike!
